Njengomfundisi Wezempilo, Ngiyazi Amaqhinga Okwesabisa Awavimbeli Ama-STI. Nakhu Okuzokwenza

-Delile

• Noma kunjalo, akuyona imicabango yabantu kuphela maqondana nezifo ezithathelana ngokocansi ehlupheka lapho senza iphutha ekwenziweni ukwesaba nokuhlazisa. Kukhona nemiphumela yangempela.
• Ngokwengxenye, lokhu kungenxa yokuthi abantu abasha baphuma ezinhlelweni zokuzithiba kuphela ebumnyameni ngokuthi bangazigwema kanjani izifo zocansi.
• "Abantu abaningi banomuzwa wokuthi uma bene-STI, kuzokonakala yonke into: impilo yabo yezocansi izobe isiphelile, akekho ozofuna ukuthandana nabo, bazothwala kanzima ngale nto enyantisa unomphela."

Isikhathi sokuthola okwangempela: Amahloni, ukusolwa, nokwenziwa ukwesaba akusebenzi.

Ngonyaka odlule, ngangifundisa ekolishi ikilasi lezocansi lapho omunye wabafundi ebiza umuntu onesifo esithathelwana ngocansi (STI) ngokuthi “mubi.” Ngambuza ukuthi wayesho ukuthini, wavele wathalaza ngaphambi kokuthi athi, “Angazi. Ngicabanga ukuthi yindlela nje abenze ngayo kwabonakala ekilasini lami lezempilo. ”

Umbono womfundi wami uqinisekile ukuthi akuyona eyedwa. Empeleni kunomlando omude ngemuva komqondo wokuthi ama-STI awasondele noma kungcolile.

Isibonelo, emuva ngawo-1940, imikhankaso yezikhangiso yaxwayisa amasosha ukuba agweme abesifazane abaxegayo ababukeka “behlanzekile” kuyilapho ngasese “belayishwa izifo zobulili.”

Kwathi ngokuvela kwenkinga yengculazi ngeminyaka yama-1980, amadoda athandana nabesilisa, abathengisa ngomzimba, abasebenzisa izidakamizwa, kanye nabantu baseHaiti babizwa ngokuthi “amaqembu asengozini enkulu,” futhi bavezwa njengabazilethelele lona ngokwabo ngokungaziphathi kahle noma ngokuziphatha okubi.

Namuhla, intsha ezweni lonke ifunda ngama-STI emakilasini emfundo yokuzithiba kuphela. Yize izinhlelo ezinjalo bezinciphile, manje sezibuyele emuva ngokugcwele. Abanye baphinde bachazwa ngokuthi "izinhlelo zokugwema izingozi zobulili."

Kepha noma ngabe yiliphi igama, izinhlelo zezifundo zingabandakanya ama-slideshows asabisayo e-STI, noma uqhathanise amantombazane enza ucansi namasokisi agqokiwe noma izinkomishi ezigcwele amathe - {textend} konke ukuhambisa umyalezo wokuthi indawo eyamukelekayo yokwenza ucansi yi-cisgender, heterosexual umshado.

Noma kunjalo, akuyona imicabango yabantu kuphela maqondana nezifo ezithathelana ngokocansi ehlupheka lapho senza iphutha ekwenziweni ukwesaba nokuhlazisa. Kukhona nemiphumela yangempela.

Isibonelo, siyazi ukuthi amaqhinga anjalo andisa ukucwaswa nokuthi ukuthwalwa kutholakele ukukhubaza ukuhlolwa nokwelashwa, futhi kwenza ukwenza ucansi oluphephile kungabi namathuba amancane.

Njengoba uJenelle Marie Pierce, umqondisi omkhulu wenhlangano ebizwa nge-STD project esho, “Into enzima kakhulu ngokuba ne-STI akuyona i-STI uqobo. Kubantu abaningi, izifo ezithathelana ngokocansi zibucayi, futhi uma zingelapheki, ziyalawuleka. ”

"Kodwa imibono eyiphutha kanye nokucwaswa okuhambisana nezifo ezithathelana ngokocansi kungazizwa kucishe kunganqobeki, ngoba uzizwa uwedwa ngendlela emangalisayo." "Awazi ukuthi ungazifuna kanjani noma kuphi izinsizakusebenza ezinozwela, ezibandakanya wonke umuntu nezinika amandla."

Futhi, ukuthembela kumaqhinga okwesaba nokugxila kumyalezo othi “vele uthi cha kwezocansi” akusebenzanga nje. Intsha isaqhubeka nokuya ocansini, futhi isathola izifo ezithathelwana ngokocansi.

I-CDC ibika ukuthi ama-STI amaningi ngemuva kokuwa iminyaka.

Ngokwengxenye, lokhu kungenxa yokuthi abantu abasha baphuma ezinhlelweni zokuzithiba kuphela ebumnyameni ngokuthi bangazigwema kanjani izifo zocansi.

Uma befunda noma yini ngamakhondomu kulezi zinhlelo, kumayelana namazinga okwehluleka kwabo. Ngabe kuyamangaza-ke ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwamakhondomu - {textend} okwabona ukwanda okukhulu ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1990 kanye nasekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-2000 - i- {textend} ibilokhu yehla ngokufanayo?

Kepha uma nje amakhondomu embozwe ezifundweni zokuziyeka kuphela, intsha kulezi zikilasi empeleni ayifundanga ngezinye izithiyo ezinjengamadamu, noma ngamasu afana nokuhlolelwa izifo zocansi, umthelela wezindlela zokunciphisa ukulimala, noma ngemithi yokuvikela i-HIV .

Ukuntuleka kolwazi ngokujwayelekile ngezifo kuyinto engike ngabhekana nayo cishe kuhlelo lokusebenza lokufundisa ngocansi olubizwa nge-okayso, lapho ngivolontiya khona ukuphendula imibuzo engaziwa yabasebenzisi.

Ngibonile abanye abantu lapho bekhathazeka ngokungadingekile ngokuthola ukutheleleka esihlalweni sendlu yangasese, kanti abanye bazama ngamandla ukuzikholisa ukuthi lokho okubonakala kuwuphawu olucacile lwe-STI (njengobuhlungu bobulili, izilonda zangasese, noma ukuphuma) empeleni kuhlobene ne- ukungezwani komzimba.

U-Elise Schuster, umsunguli ka-oksoso, ucabanga ukuthi bayazi ukuthi yini enye yezinto ezibambe iqhaza kulokhu:

"Abantu abaningi banomuzwa wokuthi uma bene-STI, kuzokonakala yonke into: impilo yabo yezocansi izobe isiphelile, akekho ozofuna ukuthandana nabo, bazothwala kanzima ngale nto enyantisa unomphela."

Izinkolelo ezinjalo zingasho ukuthi umuntu uhlala esimweni sokuphika ngesimo sakhe, ugwema ukuhlolwa, noma weqe iminwe yakhe kanye nezingozi zokudlula nge-STI kunokuba abe nengxoxo eqotho nomlingani wakhe.

Impela, lezo zingxoxo eziqotho zinzima - {textend} kepha futhi ziyingxenye ebalulekile yephazili lokuvimbela. Ngeshwa, lokho kuyisiqephu sephazili esihluleka ukulungiselela abantu abasha.

Kubucayi impela ukuthi siphokophele ekulweni nesifo sokwelashwa ngama-STI ngendlela ehlukile kunesifo esingahlangene nezocansi. Akuniki amandla, ukusho okuncane - {textend} futhi kumane nje akusebenzi.

Abantu abadala bangacabanga ukuthi ukwehluleka ukwesabisa amaqhinga noma ukuthula kuyindlela efanelekile nephumelelayo yokugcina abantu abasha bephephile.

Kodwa lokho labo bantu abasha abasitshela khona - i- {textend} nokuthi ukukhuphuka kwamazinga ezifo ezithathelana ngokocansi kusibonisa ini - {textend} ukuthi amasu anjalo awasebenzi ngokuphelele.
